This world is a Warring States with many countries. With the emergence of Chakra, the already cruel war has become even more cruel, forcing children as young as four or five years old to go to the battlefield.
The cruelty of the Warring States Period turned the entire world into a bloody meat grinder.
The strongest ninja in the ninja world at that time, Hashirama Senju, hated the cruel Warring States period to the extreme. His father gave him three younger brothers, namely Tobirama, Itama, and Kama. But only Tobirama Senju grew up to adulthood.
Therefore, Hashirama Senju decided to pacify the troubled times.
His idea of peace is to build a village composed mainly of ninjas, where all the major ninja clans live and work together to protect newborn babies and no longer allow minors to be pushed onto the battlefield.
A system of one village, one country was even established, where ninjas were managed by the village's Kage, and civilians were managed by the country's daimyo. The country's daimyo allocated money to support the ninja village, and the ninja village was responsible for protecting the daimyo.
Hashirama Senju conquered and subdued the surrounding ninja clans with his wood style that was so terrifying and beyond dimensions that it could destroy the world.
The Hyuga clan, the Akimichi clan, the Nara clan, the Kurama clan, the Sarutobi clan...
Many ninja clans were willing to respond to Hashirama Senju's proposal, which enabled the smooth construction of Konoha Village.
The merger of ninja clans to form villages is actually a phenomenon of passive involution.
As Hashirama took action in the Land of Fire, he was actively recruiting various ninja clans to establish villages.
The four major kingdoms of water, thunder, wind and earth could only passively establish one village and one kingdom, which turned the frequent but small-scale fights between villages into large-scale wars involving tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, Hashirama Senju collected the nine tailed beasts and distributed the nine chakra monsters that were like nuclear weapons equally among the major countries, so that the strength of each country was equal.
In his opinion, as long as the strength is equal, there will be no war.
A peace theory similar to the "nuclear threat".
"This concept is not wrong! But when Uchiha Madara proposed to unify the entire ninja world, and Uchiha Madara and Hashirama really have this ability."
"As long as you continue to implement Hashirama Senju's one country, one village ideology, you are brain-dead." Wang Ming shook his head and sighed.
For peace!
Wang Ming also thought about it, but in the end he gave up continuing to explore the proposition of peace.
No solution!
As long as people have thoughts, there will be contradictions. If there are contradictions, there will be disputes. If there are disputes, peace will not last long.
Even if it means using powerful force to intimidate everyone and make them continue to maintain peace.
But the moment deterrence disappears, peace ends.
The same is true in this world. When Hashirama Senju died in the 16th year of Konoha, the First Ninja World War took place the following year.
"Wherever the leaves dance, the fire grows."
"The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village."
"And let new leaves sprout." Wang Ming muttered to himself as he looked at the Hokage Rock.
The core values of this sentence are sacrifice and dedication.
The older generation should sacrifice themselves and devote their lives to protect the safety of the new generation and allow them to grow smoothly.
To put it simply, before the older generation and adults died out, Hashirama Senju would never allow children to go to the battlefield, and would never allow young people to die protecting the elderly.
This is what Hashirama Senju thought and did. He took this as his lifelong belief, and he could kowtow to the people of the other four villages for this belief. Even if his half-brother Uchiha Madara denied his idea, he could stab him to death.
“When a person’s strength reaches a certain level, no one can deny his will.” Wang Ming thought with emotion as he looked at the bustling and prosperous village.
When Hashirama Senju was alive, he did not let his children go to the battlefield, because as long as he was alive, the world would always be peaceful and there would be no need for his children to go to the battlefield.
Hashirama Senju's younger brother, Tobirama Senju, succeeded as the Second Hokage and also did not allow his children to go to the battlefield.
He even did not need to exchange the young man's life for his own.
"such a pity!"
"Your thoughts cannot be denied, but they can be distorted." Wang Ming shook his head and sighed.
The village built by Hashirama Senju himself was intended to allow children to grow up safely and healthily.
Unfortunately, after the deaths of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, their successor, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, distorted the "Will of Fire" of Tobirama Senju.
The simple values that should have allowed the older generation to protect the younger generation changed under the self-interpretation of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen...
Became,
The third generation ancestor Sarutobi Hiruzen was in charge of the safe rear area. On the one hand, he sent batches of young people to the front line to die in the office, and on the other hand, he went to the ninja school to preach the "Will of Fire" of dedication and sacrifice to a group of minors.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen never went to the battlefield again after his first trip to the front line.
Active on the battlefield are the underage Kakashi, Obito, Rin, Shisui, Uchiha Itachi...
"The Third Hokage!" Wang Ming smiled contemptuously and slowly floated towards the Hokage Building.
As for whether the Sandaime Hokage is a bad person or not, there is no concrete evidence of his dark side, but adults all know that you should not listen to what he says, but watch what he does.
What benefit did he get after he did that?
During Sarutobi Hiruzen's reign, the Senju clan was wiped out, the Uchiha clan was destroyed, the Kurama clan was almost wiped out, the White Fang of Konoha Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, the fourth generation Namikaze Minato died after sealing the Nine-Tails, ...
Someone was blamed for everything, and it all seemed like coincidence, but in the end, the one who benefited was Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, Senju Nawaki and Kato Dan died in battle, and the three ninjas Orochimaru defected...
All four of them had the chance to succeed the Hokage, but due to one accident after another, Sarutobi Hiruzen almost died of old age while serving as Hokage.
If his disciple Orochimaru had not come up with a plan to collapse Konoha and gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a gorgeous funeral, he would have been the only Kage to die of old age.
"No matter what kind of person Sarutobi Hiruzen is, his identity is a huge advantage." Wang Ming thought to himself.
Is Sarutobi Hiruzen physically aging?
Is this a problem for Wang Ming? There are many ways to regain youth, not to mention that Wang Ming is only using it temporarily to get through the difficult period of development.
Just as Wang Ming was about to enter the Hokage's office building, he suddenly stopped.
Just now, Wang Ming saw a child out of the corner of his eye.
The child with a golden hedgehog head and six fox whiskers on his face was being scolded, insulted and bullied by a group of children. The adults on the side of the road looked at him with complete indifference and had no intention of stopping them at all.
Some people even whispered in private, saying cold words like that the fox should be beaten to death.
"After being bullied like this, is it really possible for him to not have the slightest hatred?" Wang Ming said to himself.
Then he gave up going to the Hokage Building and followed the crying blond child who ran away. (End of this chapter)
